I am planning to travel to Istanbul in november but my parents and family are concerned about the latest problems with the PKK.Is it safe for me to travel now or should i wait till things calm down?I am not going to travel alone but with groups of tourists and we're travelling by bus.

Sorry but when was it not safe? What gave them the idea it was not safe?
If you mean crossing the road, then no it is not safe  or getting past the carpet sellers It is no less safe than other big city, and I would not think twice about going again - but I would think twice before travelling to London.

Are you serious?!? Its more dangerous in London than Istanbul!
Well, in fact, Istanbul IS less safe now that those human-eating Turks have finished ramadan. They will eat you at all times of the day or night now.
Its probably best to walk around in groups of no less than 50 and be sure you carry a machine gun...

lol ok ok I get the point but I have a friend in istanbul,mert and he said that it IS better to wait a little because he says they are afraid now being in crowded places in case someone from kurdish people does something bad.I am totally in love with Turkey (apart from being in love with my ex-boyfriend who is turk) so i don't care much.I just wanna go....

There HAVE been a few bomb attacks by the PKK, but most were in tourist resorts. However, if the bombers want maximum impact they would do it during the busiest tourist months I guess.
There have been less terrorist attacks in Turkey than in the UK

Oh stop winding people up!
I agree with Libralady, Istanbul is as safe or unsafe as any other major city in the world depending on how you look at it. I would try to be reasonable and not get carried away with thinking a terrorist attack is going to happen every second people the chances are very slim. You have much more chance of being pick pocketed than being a victim of a PKK attack in my view.

I went to Istanbul a couple of weeks after a Dutch tourist was killed by a bomb in one of the small restaurants on the Galata Bridge and we walked along the place where it happened. If you always worry about what might happen you will never do anything - there will never be a good time!

Istanbul is a city - NOT a tourist resort!!!! It attracts tourists like anyother big city, but its hardly a resort. OK, to be specific, I should have said "tourist resorts in the south of Turkey!

Probably not fair to blame yourself entirely for your fathers heart attack! I am sure he will understand and what you to follow your dreams,Istanbul is the most beautiful and wonderful city in the world for me and has been said previously nothing would stop be going.

you can visit the pub Baykus, very good quality place-i am always there,
visit the website of Babylon, you might get a nice concert there, its jazz festival right now going in Istanbul, the acoustic there is marvellous.

I live here, and feel absolutely safe.
I suggest you check out your countrys embassys travel advice site. the UK one doesnt say avoid Istanbul at the moment. that should make your parents feel happier.
At the moment the PKK are targeting the army. I wouldnt worry as a tourist, but feel sad for all the people on this site who have a loved one doing national service at the moment. I Hope and pray they all stay SAFE.

I have never had any problems in Istanbul. However, I was in a restaurant having dinner with my husband, he left me alone for a few minutes to use the mens room when a male tourist from another European country sat at my table and started flirting with me. Reading my visibly uncomfortable facial expressions or perhaps because they knew I was with my Turkish husband, the waiter and another man came to my table and told the man I was not interested and to leave me alone. So quite to the contrary, I find that if you even look like you are in trouble, Turkish people will actually intervene and come to your rescue. I feel quite safe there.
If you are worried about terrorists, then I don't know of any place on the planet where you don't have to worry about that.

I agree wholeheartedly!!! 130mph and I thought I was going to have a heart attack before my 21st!
To be honest, I see no real reason why Istanbul should be unsafe at the moment. It's fine in my opinion for women on their own, and as for terrorism etc, London is more unsafe!

lol why heart-attack?big deal!I still think they are cool esp.because they use the car-horn so much =) there is special language u know! one short beep means "I am coming through" one long beep means"I am coming through get out of my way" two beeps mean "I am going to turn", three-four beeps along with a"merhaba" mean "hello my fellow taxi driver" and a very very long beep means "I am coming through and I can't stop nor turn"

I am an expert in the taxi drivers =)better choose middle-aged or young ones they won't cheat u =) and bear in mind that the ones that are talkative are the ones most likely to try and get advantage of u =) but generally u'll LOVE the ride ehehehe esp.in Sultanahmet....hihihihih...watch how the grannies jump on the side of the road!!!!!
By the by,sign language also works for people who wanna cross a road!If it's red and u wanna cross it just stick out your finger to the drivers (uhm,the second one no the middle one)and they'll stop and let you pass(but if u hear the long horn then the finger won't help u)!!!!

Don't be timid crossing the street! Go quickly, that is the most dangerous part...oh yes and don't look when your friend drives you anywhere. I felt very safe both times I was in Istanbul. I did not feel safe in Chicago, parts there were really scary. Terrorism is called that for a reason because it can happen anywhere anytime. If you really want your family to worry tell them about the risk of earthquake in Istanbul.

Delidolu,
Why dont you write a letter to PKK (if you have no adress for PKK, send your letter to any Turkish daily paper, they will print it for you). Tell them about your travel plans, aproximate dates you will be in Istanbul, your family's consern about your safety and ask them to pls lay off bombings while you are in Istanbul.
They are dandy terrorists. I am sure they will not break your heart.
Good luck !

I am looking on it as a challenge, and to be honest, the safety aspect from terrorism never entered my head.
The only danger I can see is from the Taxis drivers !!! Decided to use the Havas bus and hope I can find my hotel when it drops me off
Not travelled into the other airport before..so everything will be a new experience x

Hi Delidolu!
I checked their webpage, seems to work.
The hotel is located in Aksaray, which is a district where many ukrainians, romanians and russians come while doing small businesses (buying mostly clothes and gold they will re-sell in their country). The webpage goes in 3 languages, turkish, english and russian.
It is a *** hotel. Don't know what speciall class means, i thought was for boutique, but this is not one of them. I personally avoid 'special' classes, if recommended by travel agencies. In their webpage, and not just there, it is said clearly it is a *** hotel.
Some more infos you can find here:Trip Advisor
As i was told, Aksaray is not the best place for women by night. I do not mean to scare you, this is based on a friend's advice. Better wait from some other opinions, too.

There is absolutely no danger for groups numbering over 5 in streets of Aksaray - provided, of course, they all carry M16 rifles at all times and three (each) additional hand grenades at nights...

The travel agency is a greek one I think,but the whole trip is organised by a youth club and it is only for University students (who won't complain abt lack of luxury)The Hotel is already booked can't change it!!!!But I don't care,as long as it is clean!It's cool for me coz I'll be with my friends!

Thanks,I really appreciate it but things look so bad now at home,my dad and I had a huge fight today..He won't let me go to Istanbul (though i have already paid for everything and can't cancel now) and....normally I would just ignore him and go but unfotunately I can't do that coz his health is awful.So now I don't know if I'll go after all...I am praying for a miracle now.

Good luck and have fun! I just got back from Istanbul (early Oct) and loved it - the vibrancy of the city & the night life (extremely crowded on weekend nights but lovely), and the hospitality of everyone I met. I can't wait to return. And honestly, terrorist attacks have hit every country now. I think it's more important to live your life in the present, not always wondering 'what if.' Be passionate about what you care about, hold strong convictions, and live out your life with care. Let us all know where you plan to post your pictures!
